Bet, xbox360 will win.

VG$ are meaningless, but I welcome a few extra. I hope you enjoy the poor house.

Also, if you gave money to EVERYONE saying you were wrong, they'd get like $1 each.

Unless there were over 630 betters, which is highly unlikely, they would get $2 each. It will be at least double of what you said! Are you trying to scam us?

You know what. If I had neither the Ps3 or the Xbox 360. And if they were the same pricepoint. I would buy the Xbox 360 in an instance

Well personally I would be different, but I agree with your retort as I hate all this BS about the PS3 doing poorly ONLY due to price "if it was $x it would be winning"

Although with the Wii in existance I won't be buying either HD console anyway, so my bias to one or the other is irrelevant.



lol in 30 weeks? I would be more inclined to bet with you if it was 100 weeks or so.

Ps3 would have to outsell 360 by like a quarter million/week to do this

I believe at the end of this generation the ps3 will of sold more than the xbox360 but to do it within 30 weeks is far to early, its about 7 million behind at the moment.



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ saidTrue the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

Why?

I have both now.  I just bought the 360 and now have "all three consoles".

The live experience is greatly exagerated.  yes it is nice, but it isn't all that much better than the ps3's online service, but to keep it you need to pay $50/year. it's a bit ridiculous for such a basic service.  But i'm using the free 1 month gold service right now, i'm not sure exactly what i'll be left with when that runs out.

 

But the xbox360 is huge and ugly.  The wirelss requires a dongle.  And what is up with the Xbox360 controlers?  they are *TERRIBLE*.  They are a little on the big side.. i can live with that.. but their "D-Pad", well, it is UNUSABLE.  And the stick? very inaccurate!  When playing pac man CE the controler is the reason i die at last 70% of the time.  Maybe it takes getting used to, but holy crap it's really quite inaccurate compared to both the ps3 controler and the gamecube controlers (and the classic controlers for the wii).

1. I fine the Xbox controller to be much better than the PS3. I like the triggers better on the Xbox as well as the indented joy sticks. I found that on mt PS3 my fingers would slip everyonce in a while. Making FPSs on the PS3 a no-no for me.

2. I like achievements far better than trophies. To be fair it might be because all Xbox games come with them. Unlike my PS3 games where I think half of them do not have it.

3. I also like how XBLA is arranged. I find it a lot easier to find items that I wanted.

4. Microsoft avatars make the console a lot more personal. Instead of an Ape Escaoe avatar that I have on PSN my avatar looks somewhat close.

5. I noticed that PSN took a lot more time loading and putting me into matches. Whereas XBL put me in pretty quickly. It also seemed to lag a bit less, and took les time to download games.

6. The Xbox has a wider variety of games than PS3 does

7. All of my friends have Xboxs, instead of my one friend that had a PS3

8. It was a lot easier to get an adapter to plug my Xbox to my moniter then me getting an adapter for my PS3.

Very reasonable reasons.

Well except #8, can't you just use a hdmi to dvi adapter? or is it trickier than that?

The trophies thing is a big sticking point for me too, they should have required trophies in all games from day one, now all new games you get have them, but it's very dumb that they didn't enforce it from the beginning.

I guess the controlers is just something you get used to, i'm used to the ps3 controler so the xbox360 controler feels wrong to me.

#7 is a big one, is that really such a big draw, why do you want what everyone else has? why does that make it more valuable? (just because of online play?)
